CASology : Education

It's that time of the year (in the northern hemisphere) ... the start of a new school year !

With this in mind , CASologybring you the following cue card this week :

... but remember... the cue is always open to your take on it... so show us your interpretation!

Here's mine:

A closer look:

... and the supplies:

Cutting file from : Apex Cuttables.
For Silhouette users, I have this useful tip:

When using a cutting file which wasn't necessarily designed to be used on the small scale like that of a card, you have to make some changes. In this case I selected the parts that were too small to cut, selected the black fill option, and printed it instead of cutting it.

For this reason, I printed the sentiment, the glasses, string of the teabag, and the mouth of the teacup.

After that you are ready to assemble your card, and add the finishing touches.

I used distress inks to add color to my die cuts, because everything were cut from white card stock.

After applying the distress ink, I added interest to the books by tone on tone stamping using background stamps from Kaisercraft & Stamperia.

Absolutely adorable card, Hannelie! I love how you lined up the sentiment with the books and the googly-eyed tea cup is just perfect with your whimsical take on the cue card! Thanks for making me smile :)

You are definitely the queen of the Silhouette. Your use of that amazing machine has given me courage to try a few more things with mine! So thanks for that, my friend. As to your sweet card... It's adorable, and what teacher wouldn't love to get this?!! Great colors, and the googly eyes are the perfect finishing touch. Sweet card! Bev
